BEING FAIR MEANS GOING VEGAN In a nutshell, vegans don’t use animals for food, clothing, entertainment or other purposes because vegans believe animals matter morally.

VEGAN

HOWDOIGOVEGAN.COM

In a nutshell, vegans don’t use

animals for food, clothing,

entertainment or other purposes

because vegans believe animals

matter morally. Veganism is a

matter of social justice and it’s

something we owe animals. It’s

not a form of deprivation or an

act of charity.

Going vegan is easy, especially

when you focus on how much

animals endure for our most

trivial interests. A steak or a

milkshake is not worth a cow’s life,

is it?  Of course not! Being fair

means going vegan.

WE ALL WANT TO BEFAIR. WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN?

Let’s say you drop some money andsomeone sees it, picks it up and keeps it.That’s unfair, isn’t it? Using someone isunfair. Hurting a child is unfair. Hurting adog is unfair, right? Every year, by usinganimals, we make billions of animalssuffer and we take away their lives for themost trivial reasons: taste, fashion, andamusement. Is that fair?

ANIMALS SUFFERBECAUSE WE USE

THEM.

Animals are sentient. They experience theworld. They are someones, not somethings.That means animals don’t want to be usedby us; they want to live out their lives. Theywant to avoid pain and experience pleasure,like us. We don’t need to use animals tohave good lives. In fact, using animals isoften bad for our health. It’s also often badfor nature. Tradition, convenience, andpleasure are not good reasons to useanimals. What good reasons do you have tokeep using them?

BEING FAIR MEANSGOING VEGAN.

If using animals when we don’t have to usethem is unfair,  using them “just a little,”“humanely,” or  “only once in a while” isunfair. Using their bodies, their milk, theirhair, their eggs, or their labor is unfair.Using some animals but not others isunfair. The only way to be fair is not to useanimals. That means going vegan.Veganism is also the single most importantthing you can do to help nonhumananimals short-term and down the road. You can get started today!
